Special Interest Autos (Hemmings?) #60, December 1980. And a bonus article from the same issue, as Marc Stern profiles the 1/6-scale Simplexes that Ed Roy built.

    1. As a long-time modeler and volunteer at the San Diego Auto Museum, I have always loved reading about Ed's creations as featured in the December 1980 issue of Special Interest Autos Does anyone know where his creations can be seen? I would love to see one and watch it run.
